Why Queenslanders should compare electricity plans

When it comes to finding a great value power plan in Queensland, there are more choices now than ever before.

The retail energy market in South East Queensland (e.g. Brisbane, Ipswich, Gold Coast) is deregulated. This means that the retailers set the price of their products; not the government. If you live in regional Queensland, prices continue to be regulated by the State Government.

Now that there’s increased competition in SEQ, it’s important to review your household’s power plan and see if there’s anything better. With us you can compare electricity prices from various providers, giving you more power in your decision. Our service outlines discounts, annual savings, and more – no matter what kind of contract you’re currently on. Learn more >
